College Censors Squelched

“If you attend Oklahoma State University, you are, I hope, now free to speak. OSU will shut down a ‘bias response team’ instituted to harass speech on campus. We can thank a group called Speech First, which sued the school. … The settlement also requires the school to pay Speech First $18,000 for legal expenses. OSU had tried to get the lawsuit dismissed because Speech First protected the names of its plaintiffs, OSU students. Speech First’s reason for using pseudonyms is pretty commonsensical: to protect plaintiffs from retaliation. That a university with a policy of punishing students for renegade speech might also punish them for participating in a lawsuit to end this policy doesn’t seem like a farfetched concern.” (04/23/24)
